Abstract With increasingly intense marine heatwaves affecting nearshore regions, foundation species are coming under increasing stress. To better understand their impacts, we examine responses of critical, habitat-forming (macroalgae, seagrass, corals) to in 1322 shallow coastal areas located across 85 ecoregions. We find compelling evidence that intense, summer play a significant role the decline globally. Critically, detrimental effects increase towards warm-range edges and over time. also...
AbstractConsiderable uncertainties remain about magnitude and character, if not general direction of anthropogenic climate change. Global mean temperature could increase by 1.5–4.5°C or more over historic levels, extreme weather events—drought, storms, flooding—are likely to greatly in frequency. Although ecologists foresters agree that the practice forestry will be transformed under change, these compound challenge achieving sustainable, adaptive forest management. In this aritcle, we (i)...
Abstract Glucocerebroside levels were measured in the brains of patients with neuronopathic forms (types 2 and 3) Gaucher disease compared to those obtained from control brain. Nine separate brain regions (frontal, temporal, occipital, cerebellar cortices; thalamus; corpus striatum; pons; medulla; dentate nuclei) analyzed. In all studied, greatest glucocerebroside accumulation occurred within occipital cortex, lesser amounts temporal frontal areas. The striatum, thalamus had mildly increased...
Renal angiomyolipomas are found in more than half of the patients with tuberous sclerosis. We report on 3 sclerosis and pathologically aggressive renal angiomyolipoma retroperitoneal lymph node involvement and/or cell carcinoma. All have had a benign course. The literature is reviewed supports nature this seemingly disorder. An approach to evaluation treatment child presented.
Abstract Three cases of rare primary intracranial yolk sac tumor are reported. Two had a pineal location, whereas the third presented as suprasellar mass. After placement ventriculoperitoneal shunts for relief hydrocephalus, all patients developed metastases restricted to peritoneum, demonstrated by autopsy in one patient (Case 1) and clinical radiographic evidence two (Cases 2 3). The peritoneal were directly associated with death patient, but successfully treated chemotherapy another who...
A case of liposarcoma presenting in an adolescent black male is described. Features unique to this include a mediastinal primary site (the fourth be documented pediatric patient), demonstrable response radiotherapy and chemotherapy allowing complete surgical excision initially inoperable tumor, the apparent histologic maturation tumor following multimodal therapy. review previously published accounts revealed following: (1) peak incidences during infancy early adolescene; (2) extremities...
There is growing international agreement that intensive silviculture will play a major role in meeting future demand for wood and fibre worldwide. In Canada, however, extensive forest management continues to be the dominant paradigm. Driven by low growth rates primary forests consequent long rotations, current policies support only basic management, with little or no silvicultural intervention between stand initiation final harvests. By contrast, native conifers hybrid poplars (Populus spp.)...
Presettlement forest composition along a 278 km long transect through central Ontario was recreated from land survey notes (1857) and compared with existing as derived Forest Resource Inventories (1981-1995). Trends time were analyzed by means of detrended correspondence analysis univariate statistics (paired t tests Wilcoxon matched-pair signed-ranks tests). Ordinations based on the first tree taxon listed in stand all taxa provided similar results. The eastern half initially dominated...

There is growing interest in widening public participation research and practice environmental decision making an awareness of the importance framing questions that reflect needs policy practice. The Top Ten Questions for Forestry (T10Q) project was undertaken 2008 to investigate a process compiling prioritizing meaningful set questions, which were considered by participating stakeholders have high relevance, using collaborative bottom-up approach involving professionals from wide...
A 6-year-old girl with a granulocytic sarcoma (GS) of the left maxillary sinus that followed uniquely indolent clinical course (3.5 years) and was associated highly destructive skeletal disease is described. The tumor cells demonstrated an unusual hematogenous “homing” preference for bone soft tissue sites. Tumor cell characterization immunologic markers, electron microscopy, cytochemistry, cytogenetic studies revealed expressed OKM1 MMA (Leu-M1), but not HLA-DR, B-, or T-cell markers. were...
SUMMARY Enrolments to Higher Education forestry courses have been in decline the UK over last decade. This trend has sparked widespread concern about future of professional education and recruitment qualified graduates sector. It is not clear if this cyclical, or a permanent loss interest as university course career option. A complex range factors are responsible for current situation; some related system UK, sector, socioeconomic cultural. Nonetheless, similar pattern recent years seen...
Abstract A 4‐year‐old boy with nonprogressive myopathy since 2 years of age had “reducing bodies” in muscle biopsy specimens. Clinical and morphological findings are presented, which support the existence a benign form reducing body myopathy.
Abstract: A 6‐month‐old infant girl was seen because of failure to thrive and hyperpigmented papulonodules on the lower abdomen thighs. Results skin biopsy demonstrated dauer larvae a soil nemalode, Pelodera strongy‐loides , in dermis. This is second documented episode human dermatitis due this nematode, which more often invades dogs, cattle, horses, sheep.

Abstract Although anthracycline antibiotics are among the most useful chemotherapy agents, risk of producing cardiomyopathy and absence a reliable noninvasive technique to predict subclinical remain major problem. We retrospectively reviewed our experience with anthracyclines over 5‐year period. Cardiomyopathy developed in 6 112 patients (5.3%) treated was fatal 5 patients. Our incidence mortality rates higher than those previously reported.

Abstract Female mice of the Taconic Swiss stock were fed one three diets described below then injected subcutaneously with 0.035 cm 3 CCl 4 /100 gm body weight in a mineral oil solution. One group was an adequate commercial laboratory ration, killed 12, 24 and 48 hours after ; another cholinedeficient, high‐fat, low‐protein diet for 14 days, , later; group, choline‐supplemented (2 choline chloride/100 diet), later. In normal diet, polyhalogen produced within expected centrolobular necrosis...
